A comprehensive explanation of the things you need to know before applying for a home loan.
The loan amount depends on a number of factors such as age, income, number of dependents, qualifications, assets and liabilities, income stability, business, profits, etc. However, there are ways in which to increase loan eligibility and amount. If a spouse or fiance is earning, applying together as co-applicants can increase chances of a larger loan amount. In such cases, proof of marriage must be submitted.
